RE: [PHP] or die

Could you just... mysql_connect("host", "user", "passwd") or mysql_pconnect("host","user","passwd"); ?? I'm not sure if "or die" is what the parser will look for, or if it is broken down further so that "or" is the construct and die() is just a function. Could you even do? mysql_connect("host", "user", "passwd") or mysql_pconnect("host","user","passwd") or die("Die"); John -----Original Message----- From: Erik [mailto:stainsby@telus.net] Sent: Friday, July 21, 2000 12:36 AM To: Darrell Brogdon; tyler.longren@midiowa.net Cc: PHP-General Subject: Re: [PHP] or die >From the manual: die die -- Output a message and terminate the current script Description: void die(string message); This language construct outputs a message and terminates parsing of the script. It does not return. --- The string may be replaced with a function call I suppose, but the script would terminate as soon as it was completed, so you can't use this to make a connection in the case of a failed query attempt.
